Carroll found time to rave about Dion Jordan — who played 135 snaps in 2017 — but not Bennett. Following Sunday's season-ending loss, Bennett himself said he did not expect to be back in 2018. Now 32, Bennett tallied 8.5 sacks while remaining an every-down player in 2017, but battled through a number of injuries. The Seahawks would clear just $2.025 million in cap space by cutting Bennett, but perhaps they are ready to move on regardless. Jan 2 - 2:31 PM

32-year-old Bennett has three seasons remaining on the "four-year, $39 million" extension he signed last December, but believes the writing is on the wall. "Just seems like it's a young man's game," Bennett said. "I can see them going younger, with younger players. That's part of the game." Playing through plantar fasciitis for much of the season, Bennett still managed to record 8.5 sacks. He remained an every-down player. The Seahawks would save just $2.025 million against the cap by cutting Bennett loose. It's quite possible, if not probable, he's brought back for one more year. Sun, Dec 31, 2017 10:28:00 PM

Michael Bennett is expected to play through his foot injury against the Giants.

Bennett is dealing with plantar fasciitis, which is a lingering injury that only gets better with rest. Bennett played through the issue in Week 5, finishing the Seahawks' win over the Rams. Bennett's practice time figures to be limited for the foreseeable future, but he should be out there on Sundays. Tue, Oct 17, 2017 03:50:00 PM

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said DE Michael Bennett is dealing with a "plantar fasciitis injury."

"He is really sore today," Carroll said. "But he was able to finish the game and did a fantastic job to help us down the stretch." The fact Bennett was able to finish the game is a good sign, and Seattle is on bye this week. Bennett should be good to go after the off week. Tue, Oct 10, 2017 09:19:00 AM

Coach Pete Carroll confirmed Friday night that LT George Fant (ACL) is done for the season.

Carroll called it a "significant" ACL injury, and suggested there may have been more ligament damage. The injury indeed looked brutal on the field. The Seahawks turned to sometimes guard Rees Odhiambo as their first-team left tackle in Fant's absence. They could also look at LG Luke Joeckel as a left guard alternative, or give un-retired free agent Branden Albert a phone call.
